A new road trip

What gear and what techniques?

There isn't a lot of DoF but some of it seems sharp to me. I am having trouble seeing obvious diffraction problems (old eyes maybe).The rest of the images are down rezed a lot.Thanks, I will look at the helicon remote app. I haven't tried any remote control yet.

no it is the same link and the pic is there. Onedrive may not have gotten it uploaded yet since it is just under 17 Mb.Edited by NosyNed, : No reason given.

How bad will this be when we get about 46Mpixies later this year? And the files will be over 50Mb.

I'm in too much of a rush this morning but I'll update you in a few hours. That site is a bit slimy but I ordered one anyway after checking for it through other sources.

I have a few mins before an appointment.
First the $149 "regular" price appears to be bullshit. They offered an additional 30 % of the price that first appears and that brings it to what the real price should be -- $39.My challenge will be that it is meant to screw to the bottom of the camera and I keep arca swiss plates on the bottom of mine (actually L brackets on both of them). I'm going to look at putting it on my travel tripod with a plate bolted to it but haven't had time to research it yet.I will let you know more after I get it.

I am guessing that by late June I'll be able to report back on this thing. I will be out of action for more than two weeks with a surgery scheduled soon. By the time I am mobile it may have arrived (if it does).

Well, I do have to pay a few hundred dollars a year to the government for my insurance because I have too much money to be subsidized.In addition, I'm out about $100 for some antibiotics I have to take before hand.I choose to go with the standard room which means I might share with up to 3 others for the 5 days I will be in. It would have been about $1,000 dollars for a private room and I figure that buys a lot of earplugs. (that's for all 5 days btw, and I won't pay anything for the shared room)Then, as every one in the US knows from the republicans, I have cancer and have to wait to get in for my surgery. In my case, that will be a total of about 7 weeks from diagnosis.We do have a difficult time here in Canada. Not like in the US where you have the world's best health care system. I saw that on TV so it must be true. Does the Fox fib?The prognosis is excellent so I will be lurking here for a few more years.Edited by NosyNed, : more details added

I am told I have "low grade" (i.e., slow growing) colon cancer. I complained that I deserved to have a better quality than that but my doc laughed at me.I'll lose the first half of the large intestine but I'm told it should have no consequences after a few months of recovery.Since it is slow growing there was any attempt to rush it particularly but for cancers they do move things up a bit. I did have to have my doc hurry things to get the colonoscopy in about a 2 week wait.

Yes.I need to mess with it more.It has an allan wrench supplied to tighten bolts at each corner of the hinges. This makes it possible to actually old up a Nikon D810 and a 300 mm f/4 with a 1.4 tc on it. That's just short of 2 kgs.However, it doesn't really work for positioning that much weight not practically at least.with a 105mm macro lens (a little lighter and about half the length so a shorter lever arm) it is fine.It is well constructed and seems to me to be worth the lowest price but not the full "retail".It isn't flexible enough to replace a good ball head I don't think but it is cheaper. Even after buying an acra swiss style clamp.

Not correctable in Lightroom?
